Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has stayed consistent recently.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?
